This is an amazing little package for the amount of stuff in it.
I am loving that it is a really well featured sequencer.
I am loving the guitar amp simulations which you get with it.
I am loving the variety of soft-synths that come with it.
I am loving the relative ease with which I have been able to record some vocals and guitar and turn it into something listenable.
I note the previous reviewer said he had difficulty setting everything up - and lets face it setting up a home recording facility is not trivial as you try to understand how to use your soundcard or whatever to get sounds into your computer so I sympathise with his pain - but I dont believe that is the fault of this software. You will have that pain ( aka learning curve) whatever audio sequencer software you choose. It does everything I could have wished and more and has been rock solid and stable. The interface is lovely compared to some sequencers I have used in the past. And the price was pretty amazing.
I found the manual and basic tutorials clear and useful but I admit I did already have some familiarity with the concepts of recording audio and wiring up my microphones, guitar and mixer to my soundcard to get sound in and out of the PC.
I have used a few different PC based sequencers in the past and usually had trouble with performance and stability. This software is running like a dream. I fully recommend it if you want to explore the world of audio recording or creation and are dithering about what sequencer to try.

As a Garageband and Logic Express user I have significant experience of recording using a DAW. I bought this to run a mobile DAW setup on my laptop. Paired with an Alesis USB mixer this offers a very reasonable way of getting song ideas and basic mixes together. IT's fairly straightforward but don't expect to jump in without studying the tutorials or familiarising yourself with the basics of DAW based recording. Levels are easy to clip with this software so watch your input levels carefully.
Excellent range of built in effects and the fact that it will host VSTs is a bonus for the money. I have recorded two really excellent tracks using this software that needed very little in the way of mastering when transferred over to my Mac for my latest CD release.
Overall a solid contender for best beginner DAW on the PC.
My setup - 2Ghz Dual Core 17" laptop with 2 GB ram. Alesis Multimix 4 USB mixer, Behringer C1 Condenser mic.

Cakewalk have now at long last caught up with the rest of the music creation software industry, and consolidated their entire product line into just one offering - "Sonar". Below that come tiers of crippleware (if you don't know what that is, it's the standard product with a few features taken away, or crippled). So this represents the bottom tier, and up from this is Sonar LE, then Sonar Essentials, then Sonar Home, then Sonar Studio, all the way up to Sonar Prodcuer which has all the features un-crippled. But you get a good whack of features for your money here, certainly more than from similar entry-level offerings from Steinberg, Magix or Sony. In essence this is a "sample arranger" - you get to play Lego with music samples created by other people. Just piece them together in whatever order you desire for the finished product. They're tailored to sound good together however you order them. Make your own if you like but the software kind of gives the impression that might be too diffricult and anyway you get loads of samples to assemble here. Not as good as EE-JAY I have to say, that was the bees knees of Sample Lego software. The downside here is that the samples are buried inside layers of folders, so you have to navigate around in a tiresome way, or collect the ones you want all in one folder and work from that. EE-JAY always had them in one place all together, so that is really what makes it the benchmark for Sample Lego software.
Basic yet useful set of effects and software instruments - you can add others, even the freewware ones from computer music cover discs, so over time you can build up quite a stable, possibly even match the Producer edition without the cost. The GUI is comfortable, nothing amazing but laid out logically - this has often been Cakewalk's downfall, but they've finally caught up, and also put paid to that daft system of piggy-backing soft-synths onto midi tracks, now combining them into just one track - why it took them so long to get this sorted out is a mystery, Steinberg did it about 5 years ago.
